Production of the Jaguar XJ at JLR's Castle Bromwich site will stop for up to four days next week.

Jaguar declined to comment on the cause of the suspension, only confirming that it is due to an issue in the supply chain.

A Jaguar spokesman told Autocar: "As a temporary measure, Jaguar Land Rover has stopped the Jaguar XJ production line due to a supply chain issue. Production of the Jaguar XJ will resume at the end of next week."

XF, XK and F-Type models, which are also produced at the site, are not affected.
